In this video I show how I replaced the serpentine belt and tensioner on my 2018 Chevy Colorado Z71 with the 3.6L V6 and 4WD. I assume the method would be the same for all 2nd gen Colorados and GMC Canyons with the 3.6L engine, but I'm not certain. Verify applicability to your vehicle.
Here is the link I mentioned in this video to how I removed the air intake cover if desired: • 2015-2022 2nd Gen 2018...
TORQUE SPECS:
The GM Service Manual has the torque specification for the tensioner pulley bolts as 22 lb ft. I found two other websites that stated the torque specs for the tensioner pulley are 43 lb ft. After further research and a comment on this video, I have found some people are having issues with their bolts shearing off at that higher torque.

Great video! I was lucky to have scrawny arms and small childlike hands... was able to replace without removing the cover. 😅

@@zbassr2106 I’m not really there to diagnose it, but that’s definitely where I’d start. Look and feel the belt, if it feels hard and has cracks in it that could be the problem.

Anything special about replacing that idler wheel on the passenger wheel? Looks just like the tensioner wheel.

The tools or the parts? The parts I got from RockAuto. The tools I’ve had for like 20 years, back when you had to shop at Sears. You can find Craftsman tools at Lowe’s, Ace, or Amazon now… I prefer Lowe’s, they have a bigger selection and they honor the warranty without fuss.

Are you sure the torque spec is 43 ft lbs? Just snapped the upper bolt.

I got my info from here… tighttorque.com/trucks/chevrolet/colorado-2 I didn’t have any issues myself. This isn’t an official GM site though…
@CamaroChris Жыл бұрын
This site also says 43ft lb chevy-specs.com/cars/2016/colorado3.6/torque-specs_engine.php But again, not GM…
@CamaroChris Жыл бұрын
Okay, I found the torque from the GM service manual to be 22 lb ft. Give that a try. Good luck and thanks for commenting! I'm going to edit the torque out of the video altogether and just update the video description with what I found as torque specs.

@@CamaroChris I looked at both the references you sent and I think they refer to the torque spec on the older style tensioner that was held on with one single bolt. That single bolt was larger than the newer style that uses two smaller bolts. Also the diagram in the second link shows the wrong belt routing and pulley setup. I’m not sure if it’s just a generic stock image or maybe a potential mistake. Hopefully someone can chime in to confirm or correct the number.

So how'd you take the cover off? Why omit that part?

I already have a video on it. It gets done for everything you do under the hood of the truck, so putting it in every video would be tedious for the viewer. Here’s a link to my video how to do it… kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bLdmZ9hy18-coH0.html
